Join Institute for Creative Mindfulness and Jasmine Adams, LCSW for the intensive training experience run in the style of an online retreat. You will stay with the same cohort throughout three segments of the training to also complete the EMDRIA-required 10 hours of consultation. You will have a chance to test out your new skills with clients in between the segments of the training and get valuable guidance during the consultation segments.

Discovered by Dr. Francine Shapiro, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy is one of the most researched and utilized methods in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other forms of human distress connected to trauma. This training offers the Part I & II curriculum normally offered in-person over two weekends, including all practicum components, in a convenient, online format. By folding in the consultation with this deluxe model, we spread the educational requirements out over the three scheduled segments for this course. The Institute for Creative Mindfulness is known for focusing only on the standard EMDR Therapy protocol in our initial trainings, with proper attention paid to dynamics like dissociation and complex trauma, for optimal implementation in clinical settings. The mindfulness-informed and trauma-focused thread that runs through all of our instructional offerings makes implementation of standard EMDR therapy with more complex cases possible from the beginning of your EMDR training experience.

This eight day training and consultation experience covers the basics of trauma, the adaptive information processing model, trauma-informed stabilization, and the basic methodology and mechanisms of action used in EMDR Therapy. For this premiere cohort, you will also have access to a private discussion forum where you can have contact with Jasmine Adams directly to coach you through your initial experience of learning EMDR Therapy.

If you have received a major mental health diagnosis (past or present), you acknowledge that you are taking this training and engaging in this practicum at your own risk, and agree to alert faculty or training staff before or during the training if any complications arise. You acknowledge that everyone taking part in the practicum experience is new to EMDR therapy and agree to keep the space as safe as possible for all involved. If any problems arise, you agree to address them with faculty or staff members.
